Habagat rains
Always raining by hour
Nonstop
Or maybe just paused
For a while
Flooding everywhere
Giving new meaning
Just let it rain unceasingly
Halt stop pause
Rainy unedited such intensity
Just Habagat rains

Moving day to day
Understanding a humble humanity
Poetry of life engaging
Such instance always foregoing
Pooling over the players of life experience
Writing bridges always one another
Interplaying realizations Communing
A life few understand the process and purpose of it.
Whipping new desire
Anticipating anew
Something to be renewed about
Deepening understanding of humanity
A new fervor unto life
Perceptions varied
Undertaking always
Humanity o humanity

adding to my humanity’s experience
kudos to organizers and fellow marathoners in this endeavor
waking up for routine of the day
doing all jobs and all necessary matters to accomplish everything
reaching into its peaking point
feeling tired and weary
an invitation to slumber
a bed so inviting
a sleeper weary and tired entered to sleep mode
fast asleep

seeing is what one may adhere upon
believing embedded in deep trust and support
approaching time sake moments
incidents arising surely doubts in consideration
becoming critical to someone which not fully trusting completely
because a veil of undetermined actions and motivation allays such circumstance
it truly changes from trustful person to a doubter
seeking evidences and motives underlying principle
encroaching the mind and the spirit leading to this state of doubt
reaping a doubter in the midst of living

“I am going out to clean the pasture spring”
from “An Invitation The Pasture “
Robert Frost’s Poem by Louis Untermeyer
a new season arising
just like springtime in our lives
encountering and enriching
forever refreshing and ever inflaming in our hearts
moving from season of immense coldness
white colors illumines the surrounding
bringing new colors and new fervor
touching in the lives of many
Nature’s renewal remembering
ongoing regaining its beauty and its everlasting luster
a life springtime
a new haven
